Crytophyllura nigrigenata ( Kandasamy, 1986) , comb. nov.

Distribution. India: Tamil Nadu ( Kandasamy 1986, as Euphyllura nigrigenata and Euphyllura nigriantennata [sic]).

Host plant unknown.

Comments. Based on the description of Kandasamy (1986) Euphyllura nigrigenata Kandasamy, 1986 belongs to Crytophyllura Li, 2011 . Within the Euphyllurinae , Crytophyllura shares with Brachyphyllura Li, 2011 , Euphyllura Foerster, 1848 , Ligustrinia Loginova, 1973 and Syringilla Loginova, 1967 following putative synapomorphy: mesepimeron flat, clearly delimited by a rim. In Brachyphyllura , Crytophyllura and Ligustrinia the vein C+Sc of the forewing bears a shallow notch or kink subapically, which we also consider a putative synapomorphy. Crytophyllura differs from Brachyphyllura and Ligustrinia in the posterior margin of the vertex which is convex rather than straight or concave.

Following new combination is proposed here: Crytophyllura nigrigenata ( Kandasamy, 1986) , comb. nov. from Euphyllura . In the legend to his Fig. 8, Kandasamy (1986: 92) refers to this species as Euphyllura nigriantennata [sic] which is a misspelling.
